Company History

Area Rug Cleaning Company

Tom Monahan started his first business in 1977; Wolverine Carpet and Furniture Cleaners. In its first year Wolverine grossed $60,000 and he learned a lot about the rug cleaning business. “From my experience in the carpet cleaning business, I knew that people weren’t doing justice to area-rug cleaning. Even myself,” states Monahan. “We were cleaning area rugs for years and we could not clean them as well as they should have been cleaned. So, to get to the next level it required something of this commitment.”

He launched Area Rug Cleaning Company in 2005 using the special equipment that he spent decades researching, developing, and manufacturing. Since 2007, Tom Monahan has brought several of his innovations to the rug washing market which includes his 1200 gallon wash tub and the Centrifuge high speed water removal machine.
